Stockings for 17 and 19yo…when to stop?

[MonkeyTennis34]

Just that really…we also have a 28 yo but I can’t remember when we stopped with his stocking.
They usually get a stocking of about 10 small pressies then the big presents are around the tree, spread out over the day.

My mother died two years ago when I was 58 and she was 85 and up until then I still got a stocking. I now do one for my brother who’s a couple of years younger than me and my husband does me one. All usually just little things plus socks, toiletries etc and the best bit - sweets 🤣

Well I’m outraged on your behalf

49 and still get a stocking!
2 one from parents, one from the other half 😀

Everyone here gets stockings if they are staying in the house. Even in our b and b.
Guests get chocolate, sweets, jams, small toy if kids

Never!!! Everyone gets a stocking here if they are here on Christmas morning. Whatever age they are.

Mine is 46 and still gets a stocking.

My late husband used to do a stocking for me.

All part of the fun.

I do one for my mum who is 80. She loves it! ( so do I😁)

My mum did one for us until she got too ill. My dad then took over until he died but it was a watered down affair, a bottle of fizz and a lottery card. Still much appreciated though.

My eldest is 20 and I still and will continue to do stockings.

There'd be a riot if stocking werent done for our 34 and 27 years olds. The partners get them too. Though if they don't come home there will be random little gifts in their parcel.

My eldest is 27. Still gets a stocking!

I think I'm going to continue for as long as they want it. I'm 34 and I'd love to have the kind of relationship with a parent that they made me a stocking.

My mum is in her 60's, she stays with us on Christmas Eve so I do her stocking now!

I got one until I was in my 30s, we had a second cousin from the other side of the world staying and DM said 'lets stop now'. I loved getting stockings.

I think if you want to stop do it at an obvious junction that makes things as equal as possible so 1) turning 18 or leaving school
2) 21 or graduation
Less good:
3) leaving home or getting married
4) never

My eldest is 17 so I've not thought about it yet.

Oh dear - my son is 17 he hasn't had a stocking for years. he still gets the same amount of presents though without all the tat.

DH and I are in our fifties - we still do stockings for each other. Daughters are in their twenties. Still do stockings for them! Our mothers are in their eighties - when they had Christmas with us, still did stockings for them. . .

When they no longer wake up at your house on Christmas morning.

Mine are same age and I doubt we will ever stop stockings! I suggested it 2 Christmases ago and there were howls of protest

Everyone who is in our house on Christmas morning gets a stocking. I do one for DH and he does one for me and then I do stockings for everyone else 🎅🏻

Yeah we stopped for eldest when she moved out ( she and her bf still do them)
still do it for younger one (23)

DS25 has moved out but still expected one last year! I made it a joint one for him and GF. Not sure what we’ll do if/when they have DC!

Stockings aren’t tack here, they are just anything small that fits. I try and buy things we need or will use:

ie for my 5 year old this year it will have something like new card game, something arty, fidget type toy (slinky/ rubix cube). A Tonie. Chocolate. Mini Lego bag

It never stops! I'm 53 and still get a "stocking" from my mum.

Mine are 22 and 27
Eldest lives with his boyfriend, they both get a stocking complete with chocolate coins!
Youngest is 22. Her boyfriend also gets a stocking complete with coins!

My mum stopped when I had my own child.

So, in short op, stockings should never stop wvd you owe your eldest back dated stockings lol
